Texas Rangers second baseman Jurickson Profar (13) is congratulated by Texas Rangers center fielder Leonys Martin (2) and teammates after hitting a walk off home run to win the game in the ninth inning of play at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington on Thursday, September 26, 2013. Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Angels 6-5 with a walk off home run.

“It’s absolutely nothing personal, but it’s not like we’re going to lay down the next four games,” Hamilton said. “You’ve got to finish the season. It was important for us to finish this last month strong, not just for me but for everybody.”

Hamilton was on the other side last season. He was with the Rangers as they lost twice in three games against the Angels in the penultimate series of the season. The Rangers finished second in the American League West, one game behind Oakland.

“It’s weird to be back in this situation and now being on the opposite side, trying to keep them out of the playoffs,” Hamilton said.
